{"id":"USN-7939-2","summary":"linux-azure-fips vulnerabilities","details":"\nJean-Claude Graf, Sandro Rüegge, Ali Hajiabadi, and Kaveh Razavi discovered\nthat the Linux kernel contained insufficient branch predictor isolation\nbetween a guest and a userspace hypervisor for certain processors. This\nflaw is known as VMSCAPE. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this\nto expose sensitive information from the host OS. (CVE-2025-40300)\n\nSeveral security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.\nAn attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.\nThis update corrects flaws in the following
